Among the most popular attractions were the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam, Hoa Lo Prison Relic Site and the Huong Pagoda complex. Several destinations also left a new mark through technology application and innovative visitor experiences. The “Flag Tower Memories” tour combined 3D mapping performances at the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long; the Co Loa Festival in spring Binh Ngo 2026 piloted a “Digital Relic - Traditional Festival Space” model; the Huong Pagoda Festival introduced e-ticketing, online sales, automated ticket kiosks, QR code control and AI cameras to proactively regulate traffic flows.

According to a rapid report from the Ninh Binh Department of Tourism, from February 14 to February 19 the province welcomed more than 1.36 million visitors, including nearly 230,000 international tourists. Tourism revenue exceeded VND2,040 billion (US$83 million). In addition to the traditional domestic market, the number of visitors from India and several European countries increased markedly, contributing to a vibrant multicultural atmosphere in this heritage land.

Well-known destinations such as Trang An, Hoa Lu Ancient Town and the Thung Nham Ecotourism Area were crowded with visitors throughout the Tet holiday.

From February 14 to February 19, Hue welcomed an estimated nearly 250,000 visitors, including close to 165,000 international arrivals.

“Overall, the organization and service for tourists during the Lunar New Year 2026 were carefully implemented by local authorities and tourism service providers, meeting visitor demand. However, on the afternoon of February 19, due to a power incident, the Hon Thom cable car temporarily stopped operating for inspection. The operator proactively transported visitors back to Phu Quoc (An Thoi) by hydraulic cable system and canoe to ensure safety, while covering meal expenses on the island and refunding ticket and related travel costs. To date, customers have expressed understanding and no complaints have been recorded regarding the incident,” a representative of the An Giang Department of Tourism said.
